What will the future bring?

Knowing makes us feel safe.

The word for this is “certainty.”

If you’re certain something will happen, you’re sure it will happen.

And knowing this brings a feeling of comfort and control.

Well, I don’t know the future of the world.

And that’s OK.

Because I already have certainty and comfort and control.

How is that possible?

Because I know MY future.

Do you want to know what it is?

OK, I’ll tell you.

Today, I will make myself a little stronger, a little smarter, and a little wealthier.

Tomorrow, I’ll do the same.

And every day after that.

That, I can control.

And that makes me feel good.

It doesn’t matter what happens in the world or what happens around me.

I control myself.

And today I will make myself better than I was yesterday.

That’s my future.

What’s YOUR future?

Cheers,
Vocab Vig
